I like brevity. Undisciplined people write long; they don't
bother to edit--mostly because they have no idea what they want
say. When Brian DePalma and I were working on "Body Double"
together he said to me, "If you can't say it in 90 minutes, then
you shouldn't bother saying it at all.

Rather to excite your judgment briefly than to inform it
tediously.
